Hey everyone what's up GarageKing here in this video I'm going to show you how to
install an aux cable in a 2006 to 2011 Honda Civic, if you notice these vehicles
actually have an aux button however it doesn't work as there's no cable so I
don't know why Honda would do something like this but they did so what we're
gonna do is we're going to install this cable that I bought so we will be able
to use a phone or whatever electronic device you want to use so we can have
some music and make use of this aux button so under the radio there's two
clips there's one clip you can see the little divot in there and you follow all
the way and there is another clip right there we're gonna get in here with our
little tool we got a plastic trim tool we're gonna see if we can get it there
we go there's this side we can pull and now if we follow over to the other side
we're gonna go like this there you go and we've actually taken this piece out
so here we're looking under and you can actually see the rear plugs for the
stereo you can access them by hand if you're a bit of an acrobat, they're
tight, but you can get up there now where we actually have to plug our aux cable
into is not to this space it's the one right beside the space I drew an arrow right
there that's the one where we have to plug into so we can reach up there by
hand and I'm going to try it not sure if it's gonna work but let's see if I can
do it by hand first now don't forget with our piece of
plastic that we pulled out from underneath the stereo we're gonna have
to drill a little hole in it just so we can have the wire come through so we
just can't forget about that so we'll drill that later on when you're going to
reach to plug this in underneath just like this, it has to go this way and back
first we're gonna take off those two bolts that actually hold the radio in, we
can use either a socket or a Phillips screwdriver, I believe the socket is 8mm
but we'll use the screwdriver because we can actually get
in there so if we're looking up in here
okay so we have those screws undone we're just gonna try to pull this part
apart and back pull it straight back there we go
and it came that's a tough clip you can see there's a three clips so it is it is
a Tuffy Tuffy to undo there's the whole panel it just popped off just like that
now there's one Phillips head screw and we need to take that off just to get
this top piece right here off this whole top piece in if I'm just gonna pan down
there it is right there
now this top piece should just come off so really in total all we had to do was
remove one Philips screw from the bottom piece, then it just pulled out, then we had the
one Phillips screw under there that we just that we just took out right out
there right over there this whole piece should pull off and
then we undid the two screws under there and then this will pull forward okay so
to pull this out we're just gonna pull straight you can see I pulled it
straight there we go it's actually nice and loose the whole thing is loose now
under here we just have to pull this part out so we have our little trim tool
we can just get in underneath here we may have to go a little bit closer right
there to take a look and we can just pull this piece out we can get it out
there there we go and we can see we got it out so now this whole piece should
just come back it's loose there we go
there we go so our whole piece is loose and we've just taken it off, nice and
easy and then in the back if we want to pan in we can see there is a little
electrical clip this right here so we want to make sure we can squeeze and
just just take that off and that we just pinch the top you can see the top just
like that we just pinch it then it's off so now we have that part off okay so now
that we've removed that part what we're gonna do is we're just gonna put our
hands around here and we're just gonna pull this whole thing there we go this
whole thing should just come up we've already loosened or taken those bolts
out from underneath, we know that we've already done that so there you can see
it's actually loose we want to pull straight forward just like that
there you go and there's a whole thing is actually out so there you go, good
shot behind so what we can do now is we can fish up our wire from underneath
underneath here like this not sure if you can see my hand coming back there
yeah there you can see there's my hand so if we pan down here we can see what
I've done is I've just gone under here I'm coming up over there you can see
it's right there and then what I'm gonna do is I can just take this here and I
can just plug it in so it plugs into I believe this one yeah that's the same so
we actually have to unplug it and then we can plug this in so I don't know what
this is gonna do by unplugging this so you know what I say we do let's do a
test if that cable works so we have our keys so what we're gonna do we can still
do this and join me now for a science experiment there we go we know our
wipers still work everything works and now I can see there is a radio so now if
we push AUX that's the CD's playing we don't want to do
the CD, there we go we pushed AUX so now we're gonna plug in our I our phone here
so let's plug in our phone I have a lovely assistant just helping me and
let's play let's play some music and just see if it actually works so we're
gonna play a tune we don't iTunes to fault me for are not iTunes at YouTube
for some copyright play music but it does it does work so that's great so I
don't know what this thing or what this actually does I just want to do a quick
test here to make sure everything else works have our cable nicely connected
we're just gonna line this back up and we're gonna put
put it all back together just like this so make sure you can actually feel the
clips once you line everything up and then we'll just put it back together
just like so okay so now that we got this pushed in what we're gonna do is
just pop this first back in remember to do the connector which is right here
I'll pan in there's our connector and that connects right into there yeah so
just so the connector there we go so now we're gonna centre this just like so get
it right where we should nice and easy we're gonna push this back in there we
go so we're gonna take this here and you
can see there's all our lineup tabs especially this make sure you line it up
right so we're gonna slide this back under I'm going to line it up so I'm
going to pan in this way just so you get a really good idea of what's going on
here there's our lineup tabs you can see they all they all go in just like this
so this one goes in here and if I pan to the side there you can actually see
those clips go right in right in like this there we go so they're going right
in like that so a pan back out we know everything is lining up where it
should and then once we can feel all our clips are in place we'll push forward
just like this okay so we just finished putting this in so now we're gonna do is
before we put the bottom piece in if you like my sandals ??
what we're gonna do is we just have to push this or put this one bulks and it
goes back in there we can even just start it with our finger
just like that we just have to remember those two bolts on the bottom this is
what they look like there's two now if you have trouble getting them and
obviously putting them in with Philips screw driver isn't gonna be easy
so just because to balance them without them without the falling note so you can
use a tool so you can use a socket so you can use an 8mm socket
and then this way they fit right in the 8mm socket so I have it
here with the 8mm socket so we're just gonna go up in here, I'm gonna
feel with my hands I know they're kind of up around there's one on this side
there's one on the other side now we're gonna take our other screw okay good so
let's drill the cover piece we talked about earlier so I'm using a 3/8 bit and
we're just gonna drill a hole right through here it's just simple plastic
well kind of I guess drill it off to the angle there so we can see right around
there will be good so we're just gonna do a little drill it's just plastic so
it's soft, there we go
and now we'll take this over to the car and we'll see it should all fit through
it fits just perfectly you can see it goes through there so now we can pull
the cord through just like this and then we can slide this all the way back into
here so I've lined up the two little tangs you can actually see it's loose
but I can even wiggle it and bend it and it's not gonna come out and what I'm
talking about those two little tangs those are the ones in the back these are
these two little tangs so we're just gonna make sure we line them right up
because if you don't line them up you're not gonna be able to push it in there we
go and then all we do is push this up just like this there we go
snap it together and now if we look underneath here we can see we actually
have a nice job quick summary all we had to do was pull off this bottom piece
here so we could pull that off there was the one Phillips screw underneath here
then this whole piece gets pulled off straight towards you and then we have
the two bolts under there the machine thread bolts they are 8mm
or you can use a Phillips screwdriver either either and then the stereo pulls
straight forward so really you only have three bolts to undo to get this job done
conversely, as I said you can try to reach in with the back of your hand but
it is really really difficult because you have to unplug one of those
wiring connectors so to
unplug one of the wiring connectors is actually really a difficult job so I
think the easiest way to do is to actually do it this way to take it off
and then you know you got it clipped in right and it's got to work perfect and
then you don't have to remote short connections or anything like that
so hopefully you've liked this video if you did please subscribe any questions
comments or concerns I answer everything below all you really need for tools is
some trim tools here I really only use this one that's the only one I used
Phillips screwdriver if you want or an 8mm socket, take your pick
it's good to have both but either either will do I use both because it's great
and then just a magnifying glass so once again
hopefully you've enjoyed this and you've learned something from
my channel, I would appreciate if you would subscribe that's it for now Garage
came over and out till the next one
